We are officially bowing out on the diesel wait and have decided to focus on other brands. Most likely we will end up with an Acura MDX or Infiniti QX60 hybrid ... Possibly BMW X5. Tired of the runaround and also concerned about the reliability of the 2014 due to reported problems. We also decided we don't need something this heavy, bulky and more truck-based. I wish you guys the best of luck in your diesel wait. I will be checking in to see your progress and reports on the diesel.

i understand your frustration... only one comment. The Jeep is not truck like really. It is still a unibody the same as the MDX however It is a much stronger structure.

The new Infiniti QX60 hybrid does look intriguing. Really good mpg and if you don't need the towing or off road capabilities of the GC it could be a good alternative. Price wise they look pretty competitive as well. I may go drive one of the non-hybrids which I think are already available just to see what they are like.

What I will say about them - nice crossover, wonderful interior and tech features. I really liked the functioning of the Nav and the ability to use touch screen or knob with iPad/iPod functioning. The ventilated seats seemed to really work well. Felt a touch underpowered and the CVT was a bit slow to provide power. Definitely drives more like an SUV than a crossover when compared to others in the segment.
